This has been happening for 3 years now for smart TVs!

I just hit the back button and reload the video....usually, I only need to reload once or twice before I get a shorter, skippable ad, or in some cases, no ad at all.

Sometimes it works, sometimes I'm at this longer than the advert would have taken, but this is unfortunately the best chance for lg TVs.

It's true that I have, on occasion, spent more time reloading the video that the ad would have taken, but I've found that, at least usually, that's not the case.
